Today's Ride

Time to dust off the lights for the early morning rides. I wouldn't mind so much were it not for the fact that summer never arrived. Bar 2 weeks in June when it warmed up a bit, long, warm, even hot days and nights never materialised. An endless cycle of rain, dank, or solid grey days. Just when you'd have a nice sunny day, the next would be overcast. The wind direction has been all over the place.

This morning, grey, overcast, a chilly 12 degrees, NW breeze 10-12mph. My legs are still shattered from 4 days of standing up at the Malverns Classic, so I took it relatively easy around to Sennen, St Buryan and Sancreed. I've HONC on Sunday so I need to keep things sensible.

The ridge in the distance, the left hand side is over at Redruth so whilst it was overcast, the air was very clear.

A great ride as ever, feeling transitional with autumn well underway.

Yep it felt autumnal in the forest at the weekend...transitional is a good word for it….
 
Spring took a bit of a step back today -- chilly wind out of the south. It calmed down a bit late afternoon so I headed out for a quick 30k on the road -- really just getting the miles in. And that cold did rather creep into the bones, especially when toiling into the wind. Glad to get home as darkness was falling.

Still, 14 degrees, slightly less in the valleys. Some very low cloud, mostly broken higher cloud, glimpses of blue skies and sunshine. Damp after yesterdays wet, dank write-off. Absolutely autumn, cracking morning ride to kick off Friday.
